In the latest turn of events, the Indian government is targetting Facebook owned WhatsApp, which is the most popular social media app in the country. The government is taking a toll on WhatsApp for its use to incite violence and spread pornography, and asking the social media platform to allow more official oversight on the online discussions that go on the platform, even if that means giving officials access to protected, or encrypted, messages. Facebook has refused, risking punitive measures and even the possibility of a shutdown in one of its biggest markets. For six months, we ve been telling them to bring more accountability to their platform but what have they done? said Gopalakrishnan S., a senior official in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology known as MEITY. So pedophiles can go about on WhatsApp fully secure that they won t get caught. It is absolutely evil.

This is also the right way to look at the Islamic State at the moment. Over the past several years and under two presidential administrations, US and allied forces have taken away at least 95 percent of ISIS 's terrain. But without a re flash watch, there is a real chance of the groupreviving itself. Someone who knows this well is the head of the US Central Command, General Joe Votel, a career special forces operator who has led the fight since 2016. ”If the major actors and their proxies become embroiled in a competition for influence in Syria, ” he told Congress recently, ”this may create space for ISIS remnants or other terrorist groups to reform or reconstitute. ”He echoed the view of former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who resigned after President Trump 's foolish declaration of a full withdrawal of US troops from Syria.It 's not just physical territory that 's aconcern. ISIS remains very capable in the digital realm. It has used social media with savvy to bring in recruits, raise money and set up a command and control network. It continues to launch terrorist attacks globally, including the deadly bombinglast month of a cathedral in the southern Philippines.

Photo by Khlongwangchao iStockAs Hurricane Florence delivers torrential rainfall and strong winds over the Carolinas, many emergency workers are mobilizing with a single priority: saving animal lives. If we waited for confirmation that a disaster would go one way or another, we d never be prepared, says Richard Green, director of the disaster response team at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), which is currently carrying out relief work in areas impacted by the hurricane. You have to lean forward. If you re not embedded and in position, animal lives will be lost. Late summer and early fall have become filled with anniversaries of recent natural disasters events that have fundamentally shaped how federal and state governments incorporate pet relief into emergency planning. With each disaster, and often at the request of state governments, animal rescue teams head straight into the areas people are fleeing to ensure that few shelter animals, strays, and displaced pets are left behind. When a hurricane, wildfire, tornado, or other disaster forces local shelters to close or evacuate, temporary pop ups run by rescue organizations and often housed in large parking lots or evacuated department stores typically become the sole resource for pet owners needing to temporarily surrender their pets, for strays caught running for their lives, and for homeless shelter animals. Monica Frenden, director of Feline Lifesaving at Austin Pets Alive, was on the ground during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and describes the mix of sadness and relief in owners who gave up their pets before fleeing. Wherever there s human devastation, there s animal devastation. If people can t get out, animals can t get out. Some personnel at these emergency shelters are paid staff; most of the time, in addition to managing the animals and the crisis itself, they coordinate and train vast groups of volunteers to keep up with intakes that can exceed 200 per day. In the midst of the many wildfires that ravaged California last month, Ryan Darfler, director of the disaster response nonprofit MAD Dog Rescue, managed a team of less than a dozen trained staff and more than a hundred volunteers. Noting that this community support is crucial, Darfler says seasoned rescue staffers must quickly decide whose skills are best suited to various tasks. When the adrenaline s going, body language and behavior become important. You find those people who are really solid, and you put them on the right tasks. Naturally, preemptive planning is key to managing a 24 hour emergency shelter. Once an emergency shelter s central command post is established, animal rescuers typically start contacting municipal and county shelters in impacted areas, offering to absorb their animals, and for an important reason: Shelter staff may have no choice but to euthanize their charges, to spare them painful deaths due to the disaster at hand, or to make room for new animals coming in from the devastation. Even before Hurricane Florence descended, the Humane Society of the United States was one among several national rescue organizations helping to clear out local shelters in advance. We ve been doing preemptive evacuations, says Wanda Merling, deputy director of animal rescue team operations, who s presently deployed in South Carolina. We re clearing out shelters that are located out of harm s way so they can serve as a hub for the incoming rescue animals. During Hurricane Harvey, Austin Pets Alive called shelters in the path of the storm in an effort to prevent euthanizations. When shelters know they have to evacuate, they have to cull their population, Frenden says. We were sending vans and trucks down to shelters before Harvey even hit and stocked up on cats and dogs from the coastal areas. In addition to transporting animals to shelters and foster homes out of harm s way, disaster rescue operations present an overwhelming amount of tasks: search and rescue missions, receiving pet surrenders, and providing emergency medical care. The former involves first responders who seek out animals abandoned by fleeing owners or strays desperate for a life saving hand often risking their lives to search through fires, contaminated flood waters, toxic lava smoke, and sometimes, even alligator colonies, as Austin Pets Alive did during Hurricane Harvey. It was life changing time for me, says Marc Peralta, the senior director of National No Kill Advancement at Best Friends Animal Society, who landed in Houston to coordinate rescue operations just after Hurricane Harvey hit. I d never been in a situation like that, but we work in shelters that are always overflowing at every moment, so it can kind of feel like a disaster situation every day. A lot of that fed into the situation in Houston and how we were going to help.

However, one aspect that still remains within the gray area is Niantic;s method of identifying cheaters. Now, under the camouflage of the developer;s drive to weed out players using unfair means, Pok mon Go has been frisking the internal storage of a user;s smartphone beyond its intended permissions. As per many Android users, Pok mon Go has been suspended on their phones purely on the suspicion that their phones might be rooted.

The story follows a man named Nathan Cole, who spends his days trying to rescue people from another dimension called Oblivion. A decade ago, 300,000 people and a chunk of the city of Philadelphia were inexplicably transported to Oblivion, and at the same time enormous, man eating monsters from that nightmarish dimension came to our world and wreaked havoc on the remainder of the city. Technology to visit Oblivion was developed but all rescue missions were called off because of the dangers of Oblivion. While most of society has moved on and the government considers the victims of the tragedy a loss, something is driving Nathan to keep going back, risking his life day after day.Check out a preview of Oblivion Song #1 by clicking through the slideshow gallery below.

Bixby, announced this week and scheduled to make its debut on March 29, is Samsung;s new intelligent assistant. The service is expected to be inside the Galaxy S8 at launch and to eventually be included with all Samsung appliances.Samsung is setting high expectations for Bixby. That 's a risky move, as anyone who has spent time interacting with bots even the likes of Alexa or Google Assistant knows that things go wrong, and that setting realistic expectations for a bot or intelligent assistant can be tricky business.

Oct 21, 2016 Joy Grant Belize continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with its Central American and Caribbean neighbours on tackling the issue of de risking that is affecting the economies. There has, however, been little progress made despite long months of lobbying. We got an update from Central Bank Governor Joy Grant this morning. Joy Grant, Governor, Central Bank of Belize The derisking situation continues, and it s a very serious situation. You have international organizations, the I.M.F., the I.D.B., F.A.T.F., the Financial Action Task Force, and others all engaged in trying to find an answer to this problem, because that is what it is. We were fortunate to have Crown Agents come into the country and there are several banks that are now using them to clear for foreign exchange transactions, but it is a situation that continues. We in Belize have taken a lead role in meetings, to say that the Caribbean has been the one most affected by de risking, and Belize in the forefront of trying to find a solution, because we have been really adversely affected. This is not going to be solved any time soon. But I would want to say that I see some very small steps of the international community understanding that if a solution is not found to this problem, what we are doing, we are sending the money underground the black market is going to blossom; and that is

Tom Saintfiet, the Belgian coach of the national team, invited the most important debate Bangladesh has ever come across in its footballing existence when he dropped 'inspirational' captain Mamunul Islam and four other key players for today's crunch Asian Cup Qualifying Playoff against Bhutan.On the face of it, Saintfiet, with a heavy profile to show for it, might be risking his short Bangladesh stint to even shorter by taking such a bold decision, but with a lot of logic to it. He said he dropped Mamumul for playing for Bangladesh Navy along with four other players while skipping the national team training session two weeks ago and returned with injury.

By not vaccinating their children, parents aren't only turning their backs on scientific evidence disproving a vaccine autism link, nor are they only choosing to endanger their children. Instead, they're also sending the message that they would rather risk having their child become ill or die from nearly eradicated diseases than risk having their child become autistic all based on one fraudulent study. Is autism really a fate worse than illnesses that can cause encephalitis, seizures, meningitis, deafness, miscarriage, and death? Because by not vaccinating their children, parents are saying that autism spectrum disorder is worse than risking their children's lives.As Sarah Kurchak, an autistic writer and advocate, wrote for Medium:

This week, these concerns have been prominent on the agenda at the COP21 climate talks in Paris. For the first time at a COP conference, agriculture had its own dedicated focus day, held on Tuesday by the Lima Paris Action Agenda (LPAA), a partnership established between France and Peru to showcase and strengthen on the ground climate action in 2015 and beyond. For years, agriculture, food systems, including oceans, including forests, have been knocking hard at the door and now there s movement starting, said David Nabarro, former special representative of food security and nutrition for the United Nations, at the LPAA agriculture press briefing on Tuesday afternoon.The challenge we now face is whether we can maintain and even accelerate this progress despite the threats from climate change. Mess around with this interactive map, created by the U.K. 's national weather service and the World Food Programme, to get an idea of what levels of carbon reductions and adaptation activities will bring in regard to food insecurity. A farmer tills his field. "Accurately identifying needs and vulnerabilities, and effectively targeting adaptive practices and technologies across the full scope of the food system, are central to improving global food security in a changing climate ".
